I'd grow a beard long enough to shine my shoes before some of these losers find something to say worth waiting for.

Thanks to SI's would-be competitor, (Raging Bull), I have lurked in the promised land. I have seen the future and...it does not work. In my naivety, I had thought that an individual's choice in using the ignore button would a private manner. Not so in the land of SI outcasts and penny promoter wannabees. It seems that every challenge to a thread thug...any suggestion that a hyped shell of stock might be a bad investment...is met with the thread-wise announcement: "You think, therefore I shall ignore you." I am shocked...but it appears that an ignore feature is only to the benefit of proponents of The theory of the great conspiracy between shorters and market makers and it used only as a way to taunt non-believers. I was wrong. An ignore button here at Silicon Investor is <sigh> a bad idea. Michael PS And the idea of private (or by-invitation-only) threads is even worse.
